Chapter 438 79: The Fruit Position Was Given by Me!
Pei Songji listened to the words of this cat demon, and his expression froze involuntarily.
Chu Huaixu, is he not considered the inheritor of the Dao Ancestor?!
It must be known that, for a whole thousand years, he alone has mastered the complete version of the Dao Scripture.
Moreover, he has entered two Dao Ancestor Inheritance Secret Realms.
This is no secret in Profound Yellow.
Besides, his lifebound object is also the sword scabbard that the Dao Ancestor carried back then.
There are other things too, but let's not mention them.
In summary, all these factors combined, the world refers to him as the inheritor of the Dao Ancestor.
This is even recognized within the Daoist Sect!
Moreover, though his power is only in the Fourth Realm, his current performance doesn't fall short of the Dao Ancestor's past.
It may even be superior to the Dao Ancestor's past!
To say he is unparalleled through the ages is not exaggerative.
Yet you, the former little pet of the Dao Ancestor, refuse to acknowledge his position as inheritor today?
If this spreads out, it will probably become a topic for countless people during their meals, right?
Pei Songji listened to these words and just opened his mouth but stopped short in the end.
"Alright, alright, you are the demon beast of the Dao Ancestor back then."
"And he, he is a direct disciple of the Daoist Sect, maybe even a future Observatory Master or even Sect Leader!"
"You both have significant ties with the Dao Ancestor."
"As an outsider, I naturally don't have the right to comment."
When it comes to the Dao Ancestor, even though he is the Cicada Chasing Man of Spring and Autumn Mountain, he doesn't have the right to discuss!!
Just like that, attempting to befriend failed.
He is also quite old now, and for the first time feels he can't understand this childlike cat.
If you don't even recognize Chu Huaixu, then what are you afraid of him for?
But concerning Zhong Ming, as his closest friend, he still wanted to do his best to strive.
"Guardian, no matter what, this matter is related to the closest friend of the junior."
"If Guardian really fears seeing this junior, why don't I convey on your behalf?"
The plump black cat, upon hearing this, immediately bristled.
"What do you mean I fear seeing him!" Its extremely coarse voice immediately roared like a mighty bell.
A powerful pressure spread around, even causing gusts of wind, as if the weather was changing.
The trees in the forest were all blown to slant.
In the sky, dark clouds seemed to be gathering again.
This made the sunlight in the forest diminish, and the sky instantly darkened a bit.
This cat seems already able to casually use some power of heaven and earth.
Truly terrifying!
This Cicada Chasing Man also knew he definitely wasn't a match for the cat guardian.
Its cat eyes were fixed on Pei Songji, even beginning to show its teeth, visibly angry.
Yet Pei Songji, having lived this long, was somewhat of a clever person.
How could he not realize that it was merely bluffing!
The more it was, the more he internally confirmed: "It truly is afraid of Chu Huaixu, this kid!"
Really inexplicable.
Completely unreasonable!
But being provoked this way, this not-too-bright-minded black cat came to its senses.
"Yeah, what am I fearing him for, he is merely at the Fourth Realm's cultivation!" It thought it was muttering small, but actually spoke at a volume like normal people conversing.
"Good opportunity, meow!"
"You've come knocking yourself!" It tilted its head, perching on a tree, its eyes shining.
Pei Songji stood under the tree, utterly dumbfounded, feeling he messed up somehow.
...
...
In the forest, Pei Songji couldn't help asking:
"What does Guardian mean by this?"
The black cat showed a slightly playful expression and said loudly:
"It's just seeing his low cultivation now, I want to train him well!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Songji immediately panicked.
"Guardian, please refrain from messing around, Chu Huaixu cannot be harmed under any circumstances!"
"Messing around?" The black cat glanced at him with downcast eyes.
It leapt down from the tree onto a big rock below, almost level with Pei Songji.
"Since when has this seat ever messed around?" It tilted its head looking at the Cicada Chasing Man.
Its tone wasn't much questioning, but rather more curious.
Pei Songji saw its unclear self-positioning and sighed inwardly.
Then he said with his mouth: "Then what does Guardian intend to do with Chu Huaixu?"
The black cat looked at him with eyes as if seeing a fool and said:
"Hasn't this seat made it quite clear?"
"His cultivation is negligible, I shall train him well, don't you understand?"
"What this seat means is to assist him in cultivation..."
He began to explain loudly.
Pei Songji: "..."
After speaking, the black cat continued, "What's more, your worries are completely unnecessary."
"Why can't Chu Huaixu be harmed?"
"Since he cultivates the Dao Scripture, as long as he doesn't die, his injuries can easily heal."
"It's not that he can't be harmed, he just... can't be killed."
The black cat's tone was quite sincere, as if explaining doubts.
But after it finished speaking, it froze for a moment itself.
"Hiss—! That's not right, meow."
"Thinking about it carefully, since he's Chu Huaixu, it's not to say he can't be killed."
"Actually, it's no harm to kill him." It started to speak to itself, slightly dazed.
But this remark made Pei Songji panic immediately.
"Protector! That cannot be done! Chu Huaixu mustn't be lost!"
"This concerns the great calamity of heaven and earth, he is the best choice to enter the third layer of the Origin Spirit Realm."
"What's more, he is incredibly special right now, capable of destroying Primordial Spirits, and also possess..."
Pei Songji stopped here.
This cat was a big mouth, with a loud voice, some things shouldn't be known to it.
However, the cat demon looked at him with its pair of cat eyes, asking surprisingly, "Why didn't you continue?"
"Uh..."
"I know what you want to say he possesses." The black cat looked at him and said.
It paced slowly back and forth on the boulder, although it looked fat, its steps were agile.
"What you want to say is..."
"He possesses a Fruit Position, right?" The black cat paused for a moment, speaking with a slightly proud tone.
Upon hearing this, Pei Songji was stunned on the spot.
And sitting within the great hall of Spring and Autumn Mountain, the group of cultivation giants had been using their Divine Senses to probe the situation here.
Upon hearing the cat demon's words, they all froze for a moment too.
Jiang Zhi turned his head to look at Yuwen Huai, asking, "Master Yuwen, was this matter informed to the Cat Protector by someone from your Spring and Autumn Mountain?"
Yuwen Huai hurriedly waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no!"
"I even specially instructed that this matter must never be known to the Cat Protector."
"Then it's a bit strange, unless..." Jiang Zhi's gaze slightly condensed.
Sure enough, the next moment, the black cat gave the answer itself.
It slowly squatted down on the boulder, looking at Pei Songji, said:
"Don't look at this seat with such eyes."
"Because the Fruit Position on him was originally given to Zhong Ming by this seat back then."
This statement was earth-shattering.
Jiang Zhi sitting inside the hall suddenly stood up.
"What!"
However, on second thought, everything suddenly made sense.
According to the information Chu Huaixu got from Wen Shiyu, the Fruit Position was obtained by the Dao Ancestor who went alone to Kunlun Cave Heaven and then eliminated Night Venerable a thousand years ago.
It seems that after the Dao Ancestor returned to Profound Yellow, the Fruit Position was placed on the cat demon.
The cat demon has survived in the world for a thousand years, so naturally, the Fruit Position has been preserved for a thousand years.
And Zhong Ming visited it before entering the Origin Spirit Realm, perhaps it was then that the cat demon bestowed the Fruit Position to Zhong Ming.
The mystery of the Fruit Position was thus solved!
In the forest, Pei Songji looked at the black cat, surprisingly saying: "Protector, has the Fruit Position always been on you?"
The black cat said with a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course, because this seat can live the longest, meow."
But this answer subtly revealed some information!
Outside the forest, Chu Huaixu actually heard these conversations clearly too.
After all, he has reached the Fourth Realm, and is a Body Cultivator, his five senses are extremely sharp.
There was no Silence Array set in the forest, and the black cat had a loud voice, it was hard for him not to hear.
"The Fruit Position is on it, the reason is it's the longest-lived?"
"This means the Fruit Position needs to be kept with it."
"Needs to be taken out after many years?"
"So, is everything more likely still arranged by the Dao Ancestor from a thousand years ago?" Chu Huaixu couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"Thus, from the very beginning of bestowing the mark of Nan Liujing, layers were laid?"
After all, with Nan Liujing, Zhong Ming can be saved!
Dao Ancestor, oh Dao Ancestor, what kind of existence are you!!
At this moment, the black cat in the forest seemed to be a bit impatient.
It was eager to deal with Chu Huaixu.
While he was only at the Fourth Realm, it can't miss the chance to deal him a severe blow!
And in the unhindered forest outside, Chu Huaixu triggered a [Passive Task] after a long time.
However, in the system prompt, the task name was quite intriguing, with obvious mysteries!
"[Ding! You have triggered the Passive Task — Revenge from the Cat Demon!]"
